The Irish vocalist decided to arrive at the bash at London’s Funky Buddah club a little later than the rest of the group and paid the price when the doorman did not know who he was.Niall suggested the bouncer call for the manager and had to wait while an investigation was launched into his identity.According to onlookers, the singer remained in good spirits throughout the unfortunate incident and was later allowed into the club in order to join the gathering.Liam was holding the posh party at the Mayfair nightspot to celebrate his 19th birthday and Niall, being one-fifth of the UK’s biggest boyband, presumed he did not need ID to join him.

It was not a good night for Niall, who had earlier taken to Twitter to write: ‘Why is traffic in London soo bad? Soo frustratin.’

His mood is unlikely to have improved as he reached his destination and was promptly told he was not coming in.

But once inside, he met up with his bandmates and enjoyed the rest of the evening, although Zayn Malik did not make an appearance – instead choosing to stay at home to watch girlfriend Perrie Edwards perform with Little Mix on ITV show Red or Black?
